Fuzz, synths, sing-a-longs, head-hum inducing hooks. Seattle power pop quartet

Don't go there with a professional camera. I'm not a proffesional filmer but I have a professional camera because it is my hobby. Everywhere you go with a camera like that you will have problems. On many places I have to ask my money back because when they saw my camera I have to stop filming. It was not allowed to film the aquarium in the Dubai Mall, just stupid. And when I explaned that I'm only a privat person with a hobby they still refuse. The only thing they can say is "this is policy".
They are so proud that they have the biggest building in the world, the biggest aquarium, the biggest this and the biggest that, but when YOU have a big camera then ..... and then........ they are the biggest idiots there.
Also, how more stars a hotel have the more artificial the staff will be.
With money you can buy concrete and stones but you can not create a city. If you know what I meen. I can't believe that modern western people want to live there.
Unique Suggestions: Bring a small camera, spend money, do what the divine emperor say's, lock yourself in a holiday factory, like Atlantis, and you will be fine.
Fun Alternatives: From Dubai I went to Thailand. Thailand is not so clean and don't have the same high buildings but oohhhhhhhh what a relief.

1991 Desert Shield. Airplanes all over the Colville Forest. Today nobody believes it when I tell them. The world is in a dumpster and nobody believes. Hey! Big Guy! I did my job. If they don't listen then its their fault.

This land WAS my land. This land is still my land!
